Govt to notify five electronics manufacturing clusters by Feb

The government has set a target to notify five clusters for manufacturing electronic products by February in its bid to cut import dependence of such items. Each of these clusters, which will house the eco-system required for manufacturing specific kinds of devices, will also get financial support of up to Rs 50 crore from the government. The plan to notify five electronics manufacturing clusters is part of three-month agenda finalised by Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal with Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DEITY).
